Accused found guilty of dangerous driving but acquitted of criminal negligence for fatal high-speed collision.
The accused was driving a sports car at speeds up to 163 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on a highway, shortly after passing two motorcycles.
As he approached an intersection with a green light, a vehicle turned left into his path, resulting in a collision that killed three people and injured two others.
The court found the accused guilty of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm, concluding his excessive speed near an intersection was a marked departure from the standard of care.
However, the court acquitted him of criminal negligence, finding a reasonable doubt that his conduct amounted to a marked and substantial departure showing wanton or reckless disregard.
